Teacher/Admin – First Time Sign In

Installing the Acellus App

Start by installing the Acellus app. This app can be found by either searching for “Acellus” in your device’s App Store or by visiting the Acellus App Installation page.

Note:  You can also find this link in the email sent to you by Acellus when you were added as a teacher or administrator. 

On the App Installation page, you can select your device type and then click the ‘Download App’ button.

This will redirect you to your device’s app store, where you can proceed to install the Acellus application.

After the app is installed click the ‘Parent/Teacher Sign In’  button, located at the bottom of the screen.

Setting Up GoldKey Secure Sign In

Next you will be guided to set up your GoldKey account for secure authentication.  Acellus utilizes ‘GoldKey Secure Sign In’ to protect access to student records and school data.

A GoldKey security pop-up window should appear. You will want to select the “Create a GoldKey on this device” option unless you were issued a physical USB Security Token.

NOTE: Your email address should match the one you use at your school.  This must be the same email address used to add you as a teacher or administrator to Acellus.

If you are new to GoldKey, once you click on ‘Set Up User’, you will see a message stating that a GoldKey account could not be found for your email address. In this case, you’ll be guided to set up a GoldKey account. Simply provide your name, email address, and phone number for verification.

NOTE: When entering your phone number, be sure to use a cell phone number as this number will be used for verification purposes.

Getting Started in the Teacher Interface

After completing phone verification, re-open the Acellus app and select ‘Parent/Teacher Sign In’. The GoldKey security pop-up will appear with your email address pre-filled and a prompt to ‘Enter PIN’. After entering the PIN you created, you should see a screen similar to the one shown below.

You now have access to the Acellus Teacher Interface!

The final step is to complete the ‘Tutorials’ which can be accessed on the left-hand side of the screen.  (If you are on a mobile device, you will find this option by clicking the menu icon at the top of the screen.) The Tutorials will familiarize you with the Teacher Interface and show you how to perform important management functions in Acellus.

Once you finish these tutorials, you will have gained a foundational understanding of how to effectively deploy and utilize Acellus.  A Continuing Education Credit is awarded to educators who complete the Acellus Tutorials.
